About our shower tray repair in Puncknowle
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Questions from Puncknowle
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Puncknowle
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting

Repairing versus replacing in Puncknowle
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
